EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing Saint Anselm of Canterbury receiving the Archbishop's staff from King William II. Published in 1912 as part of Winifred M. Letts' book "The Mighty Army" this colour lithograph by Stephen Reid beautifully brings to life the solemnity and importance of this event. Saint Anselm, known for his influential role as Archbishop of Canterbury from 1093 to 1109, is depicted here on a sick bed, highlighting his dedication and devotion even during times of illness. The image showcases his Benedictine monk attire, emphasizing his commitment to a life of faith and service. King William II can be seen respectfully handing over the symbolic staff to Saint Anselm, symbolizing the transfer of power and authority within the church. This historical moment signifies not only their close relationship but also highlights Saint Anselm's significant influence during that era. The attention to detail in this illustration is remarkable; every brushstroke brings out the emotions and significance behind this scene. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left by these two figures who played crucial roles in shaping medieval England. Displayed within private collections today, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical value.
